Teddy grinned, and I just about held back my reaction. Damn him for being irresistible.
“Belladonna sent me an invite. That’s not a problem, is it?” Teddy smirked as if he knew exactly what he was doing to me.
“Not at all. I can throw you to the zombies,” I replied smoothly.
Teddy winked. “You can use my body anytime you need to, Tink.”
I glanced around and saw all my sisters staring at me like I’d grown another head. “What?” I barked.
“Nothing. Let’s go,” Belladonna ordered, but looked smug.
I stamped after her, wondering what the hell I had missed.

I was trying so hard not to pee; I had my legs crossed and everything. Poker and I were clinging to each other as our sisters lost their fuckin’ heads. We all signed a disclosure saying we wouldn’t punch the actors, and that if we got caught, we’d go peacefully. Then we entered the Scare Fest and a small, tight tunnel that freaked Lantern the hell out.
When hands grabbed at her through the walls, she’d melted down and collapsed into a heap. Teddy had picked her up and carried her through.
We’d exited into a field with an eight-foot-high fence. Haystacks, vehicles, sheds, and other objects were scattered around. At first, we’d been confused.
“What now?” Sapphire demanded.
“Fix the generators,” a voice droned.
“That ain’t hard,” Nun said.
Famous last words.
From out of nowhere, monsters popped up.
Tinkerbell took one look, screamed, and jumped on Teddy’s back. The crowd swarmed towards us, and we set off running. Except we scattered. Yup, ‘all for one’ flew right out the window. I was cackling as I climbed onto a haystack and watched the mayhem.
Moments later Poker joined me, and we observed the chaos. “I’ve played this game,” she murmured.
“Oh, yeah?”
“Yup, this is based on Dead by Daylight. There’ll be four generators, and when each is repaired, it’ll power the gate. When the final generator is fixed, the gates open,” Poker explained.
“Are you going to tell them?” I asked.
“Fuck no, I’m filming this shit,” Poker chortled.
A flare went up, and Hatton roared approval. Moments later he bellowed what Poker had just told me. Yup, that sailed straight over my sisters’ heads.
“Find the damn generators!” Wylde yelled to Cassidy, who relayed it to Teddy and Warrick. Warrick howled with laughter as Stitch climbed onto his back and refused to move. Teddy shouted it to Priest and Blue, who offered thumbs-ups.
“I approve. Let those silly bitches run around and distract the actors while the men handle the dirty work,” I stated.
“Sparrow, you cheating bitch!” Maid yelled as Sparrow teleported away from a chainsaw man, leaving Maid alone. The guy caught her and marched her to a cell where he locked her in.
Close by, Sailor sulked in a corner. Suddenly, lots of extra people appeared, all wearing bondage masks.
“What the fuck?” I howled, realising what Sailor had done. She’d used her astral projection. The monsters paused for a moment and then kept chasing their targets.
Sailor sprinted to Maid’s cage, but it remained locked.
“You need to fix the generators to free her!” Poker screamed and then yelped as she disappeared over the haystack. I jumped down and raced away as a man with an axe chased me.
